- Additional information
- There is a need to develop floating wind turbine platforms suitable for far-offshore, deep-water sites, with several companies recently developing vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) concepts and prototypes (e.g. Vertax Wind Ltd, Nenuphar Vertiwind), which have inherent attributes for floating platforms. This work considers the performance of a H-type VAWT in a skewed wind, due to the turbine pitching, rolling and swaying on a floating platform, using an unsteady 3D RANS CFD method. This collaboration with the University of Pisa improved analysis and design methods.
